Ed McDonough's Path to Sobriety and Building Recovery-Friendly Workplaces

The more we're able to speak out loud about the truth, which is that we suffer from substance use disorder and we found a path out, we found recovery, I think that that helps the rest of our community learn to live and address substance use disorder head-on.
Ever wondered how someone can turn their life around from substance use disorder to leading a major recovery facility? Ed McDonough, the CEO of GateHouse Treatment of New Hampshire, kicks off the 'Hope Dealer' series by sharing his deeply personal journey of addiction and recovery. Ed opens up about his struggles with substance use disorder, shedding light on the harsh realities he faced and the pivotal moments that led him to sobriety.
His story isn't just about getting clean; it's about finding purpose and becoming a beacon of hope for others battling similar demons. In this episode, Ed is joined by Marty Boldin, Policy Advisor for Recovery, Prevention, and Treatment for New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu. Marty dives into the Recovery Workplace Initiative, an innovative program designed to create recovery-friendly workplaces. They discuss how businesses can benefit from addressing behavioral health issues and supporting employees in recovery.
The conversation is a blend of personal anecdotes and practical advice, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in the recovery movement. Whether you're in recovery yourself, supporting a loved one, or simply curious about the transformative power of sobriety, this episode offers valuable insights and hope. Tune in to hear how Ed's journey and the Recovery Workplace Initiative are making a positive impact on communities and lives.
